i m looking forward to play , but why unfair handicap system is involved again , really there is no point, and warzone style where you dont need to face direct rivals in order to win???? Whats the purpose of such system , just dont tell me "anyone can win".

and by the way I got one more question there is no limit for B section how low rated player can be in order to join, for example 1200 could easilly win b section but can have trouble in c section that isnt sane mind logic.I suggest 1900 to be lower limit.

Great event but I dont like hendicep system. I have been playing many hendicep tournaments here, and I never seen strong player winning hendicep system tournament or being even close, you say purpose of hendicep is to give chance everybody to win, well this is game of chess, in which should not be lottery involved. But I stress out maybe hendicep would be ok if it was not abused so often, I met so many lower rated players then me in WR hendicep, I am 1850 CC, and they were playing on very high level and plus points hendicep system worked for them beautifully. Never the less this is great event and initiative from CC, but as I said I am bit concerned about hendicep system, it is simply not fair and it is being abused in large scale.

I by myself think that it's not worthwhile to create different series, because of ease of cheating. It costs nothing for a 2000+ player to register another account and win everyone in 1800- championship.
